I am looking into rebuilding a 4.0 v6 as a little project first off to see if i even have it in me to do it second off my ranger is coming up on 500k miles and i would like to have something ready and fresh to drop in when it goes. I want to do comp cams (215/224?) all new gaskets timing chains ext. i would like to have it practically brand new if possible. Any and all info would really be appreciated i plan on documenting the entire project to help others if all goes well.
What is all needed? (parts list would be very appreciated)
Links for 4.0 v6 rebuild kits
what heads are good? links to them
what cams do you suggest
What pushrods lifters ext?
if i put aftermarket cams what all needs to be shaved/ changed to fit them?
And finally how do i put it all together
All info is appreciated we all have to learn somewhere ive replaced my shocks, coils, alternator, belt tensioner , idler pulley , tons of evap stuff all from here just not fully understanding the technically side of the motor i have no history with mechanics or anything just a hobby i picked up in highschool ( graduated last year) still debating if this is what i want to do with my life so this project means a bit
so please and thank you if there are other posts just post the link and ill slowly start editing this with updated info?
